CGiii Comment

Direction is all about making a film look effortless...

Too much here is staged...when the composition is screamingly obvious, problems arise.

Silly edits kill the fluidity. The music - in places - is like an aural assault.

The dialogue needs work. When young people write dialogue for older characters...problems arise.

There is potential...it needs to be honed. Directors: look at the bigger picture.

The(ir) Blurb...

En El Mismo Equipo (On the Same Team, in English) is about the mixed feelings of a young rugby player. He tries to keep in the secret that he is gay, due to conformity mostly, but he struggles with it almost everyday. He longs to be free, but what exactly is freedom to the young man? He isn't so sure himself. This is a touching story about a person who feels that he stuck in the life he has, and is thus crying out for freedom. It's quite an emotional ride, although quite anchored in reality, too. It's sweet, but also a little sad. A moving film.
